<p>Thank you Marc. But I need to sort by capture date, not file creation date. I would manually change it but there are too many elements affected.</p>
<p>Anyway, I think digiKam should look the Exif data, not the file properties. Nice if they could change that. Ruins the whole thing for me! I hope there’s a work around.</p>
<p>Thank you again.</p>

<div dir="auto">You have to select to sort items by creation date in the top menu. If they still appear last in the list, that means that they do not have metadata inside (or it was overwritten somehow). You can manually enter the date in Exif's "Original date
and time" field (either in the metadata editor or in the date tool).

<p dir="ltr">Hi! I recently had to resync my photo collection to a new computer. For

some reason a large number of elements had their -file- creation date <br>

Thank you so much. <br>
